This Persian rug has a cotton foundation and a wool pile. It is a fine weave, with 305 knots per square inch.
 
Tabriz is one of the oldest carpet-making cities in Iran and is known for its diverse array of floral and geometric designs. Given its diversity it is impossible to single out one distinct Tabriz design, but what they all have in common is a masterful level of craftsmanship. Unlike their tribal counterparts, weavers in cities like Tabriz can spend months or even years on their rugs, allowing them to create a level of intricacy and detail that is truly spectacular.
 
Yellow is the predominant colour, with browns and greens that give it a natural, earthy feel. A medallion pattern leads the eye around the piece pointing away at its corners ensuring its viewer to take in every aspect of the rug.
